Hall and Mikko will play tonight for the Canes as well. 
 

The Canes will have 35-40m in cap space to fill out the team. Mikko wants 8x14m, give it to him. Let burns and Orlov walk and play nikishin and the younger guys on defense and/or make a smart signing in FA. 


go get a goalie and fill out the rest of the wingers with 10-12m in cap space. 

I have a feeling burns will be back on a one year deal   If he plays less minutes, I’m all for it.  Nikishin and Morrow will be up next year to replace Orlov and maybe Walker. 
 

Depending on how Freddie does in the playoffs, it will be him and koochie or someone else and koochie. 
 

we still need a center.  Badly. If that’s one of prospects, wonderful, if not, I fully expect them to go get a good one. $30 plus mill is a ton to work with. Esp when we already have a solid core. 
 

and yes, I fully expect moose to sign with us. We have the money. Pay him. Yo I don’t get top 6 to top 10 NHL players often. We now have one. Better than anyone on this team in including aho. Better than Guentzel. On par with prime Eric Staal. A true ELITE star.

They could put Mikko on the second line and run something like this and fix the center issue. 
 

Sevch - Aho - Blake

Hall - Mikko - Jarvis

Marty - Staal - Jaaska 

Robinson - KK - Roslovic

That’s four strong lines imo and Jost and Carrier coming back for the playoffs gives some movement wing wise.

I think we bring Burns back on a team friendly deal if he doesn't retire.

Definitely a possibility for sure, I was just saying that even if they give Mikko 14m AAV, they would have 9 forwards, 4 defenseman and 1 goalie with 26m in cap space left over. If Nikshin comes over like expected then that’s 5 defenseman plus a ton of youth that should be ready to come up.

I just hope we keep our farm system top tier with the new GM. It is such a nice thing to have guys constantly coming up and contributing.

Yeah, Rantanen is arguably a superstar level player, which we don't have.

It's not really arguable he's been Mckinnons Draisaitl.... top 5 in points the last five years, 55 goal season will probably have his fourth 40+ this year. 

 

He's a superstar he was PPG plus even with Mckinnon out.

 

We have that now.

 

This guy CAN SCORE

KK seems like an obvious option to move but he really has to start humming so we can sell high like we did with Necas. I love Necas but I don't think you will see him blossom into a consistent 100 point scorer like Rantanen is.

I think he has a shot of that in Colorados system him feeding Mcdavid he's gonna rack up assists. Rantanen is a pure goal scorer who can also distribute he won't get Rantanen numbers but I could see him putting up 30 50 with Colorado

Robinson and Roslovic are both UFAs after this season.

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
